“There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.” –by Michael de Montaigne

This is because you learn when you are defeated. You lose the celebrity status and reminded of your goal. When you realize that, you will never back down on incoming fights. Like what happened to the Filipino Pride and Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao when he lost a fight. He lost the enthusiasm of the Pilipinos but he regained it by becoming what he is now, a pound-per-pound king. A champion of the world.
